Suggest Treatment For Severe Ankle Pain

I m a 21 yr old female . I ve had two c sections. my last one on 4-30-14. I ve been on birth control for 8 months and recently ran out due to my medicaid not paying for it anymore. I ve been off of BC for almost a month. for about a week now I ve noticed a weird pain on my right inner ankle almost like lightening strike pain. when i rub the area my skin is tender painful to the touch. could it be a blood clot? The pain goes up my leg about an inch from my ankle and inch lower into my foot. theres no signs of bruising or anything. looks normal except the pain. almost like my veins feel bruised on the inside.

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, you need to consult your doctor and let him see the appearance of the ankle, it could be anything from infection to clot, and only observing will decide the next course.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
Thanks
